+1 for a new aluminum wheel. you know it will be true, easier to retrue if it gets bent and mostly for braking performance. steel really suck when wet to the point of excessive vibration and major saftey issue. they are cheaper than you'd think for generic hubs and if you got the extra bucks, get a new rear as well. then both wheels will be true and with far better braking surfaces. betcha you can find a set for about a hundred bucks. but ifyou know you won't want to upgrade the rear later, then go with one.
